Kyera glowed under the veil, watching him through the lace . Each step felt her heart quicken . No one else mattered . Nothing else else existed but the future infront of her and all it represented . The smile on her face hurt her cheeks with its intensity .
As she glided up the long garden path to where Clovis stood beneath the Phoenix tree she couldn't help but take in the firey way the tree caught the light . Clovis standing out against those warm colors . She couldn't have asked for a better site . As she moved closer, she couldn't help but blush . A soft wind blew and the hair on Kyera's neck stood up . She froze for a moment . No, she was mistaken . It couldn't be… her mind was playing with her . She chastised herself and kept moving forward nearly to him now .
AdvertisementWhat she couldn't see, however, was the sudden look of concern on Talis' face . He used his free hand to low key sign to the other shifters to keep watch . There were many of them here today and most felt the same unease she did .
Clovis reached for Kyera's gloved hand . The softness of the lace a poor substitute for her skin . She moved closer, into position as he guided her . He couldn't help but smile feeling surprisingly pleased . He never dreamed his wedding would truely be so joyous . Completely oblivious, he reveled in the moment .
The ceremony began, Kyera followed the motions as she had been told but her mind was elsewhere . The scents on the wind was worrying . This was the royal garden . She knew the scent of every animal here, and those of the wilds and her clan . This was not right… she tried to fight back those feelings .
Clovis reached down to guide the purple lace from her face as her hand shot out, catching the arrow that suddenly appeared . Her reaction time better this time, her hand hurt as she managed to close her fingers around that shaft .
"Forest Guard raise your blades!" Kyera cried her orders as she reached down and pulled the blade hidden by her dress . The lace and leather parted just enough on her right side for her to draw the blade from its lace sheath . She would defend what was hers . Thank the shadows they had added the blade to her dress .
Talis and the others pulled their concealed weapons to defend the more useless guests and the Royals . A group of intruders charged into sight attacking and destroying the decorations laughing, and attacking the guests mercilessly . It was obvious who they were . At least, obvious
to those who had already suffered their attack once before . There were fewer now and the guard attacked with the forest knights decimating them with their mutual princess at the head .
The Emperors gaurd managed to extract the Emperor and Empress, kyera assumed the children as well . Kyera's eyes narrowed as she clashed swords with a intruder then pair began to fight hard . Slashes and parties that made her arms hurt with the force of the strikes . He never had a chance, as he fell to the ground a blade wound across his gut . She instantly dove into the sea of fighting using the shadows to defend the innocents . A little girls cry caught her ear like a cub in distress .
"Raina!" she heard Clovis scream from the battle near by . Kyera saw the tiger approaching the princess who was trapped against the forest edge . Kyera ran toward them her mind blocking out what she knew she saw . She couldn't think of that now, it didn't matter . Her cub was in trouble .
Kyera ran in human form "Raina, Raina Baby use the earing!" Kyera screamed as loud as she could . The child touched her ear, there was a flash of light and she was gone . Kyera opened her arms and caught her as Raina appeared in front of her . Her little arms wrapped around Kyera's neck hot tears falling against her skin .
"I told you it would keep you safe . " Kyera whispered hugging her before pulling her away and putting her on a tree brance . "Climb . I will deal with this . " Kyera demanded turning to face the tiger who looked her over . Those familiar eyes brought tears to hers as shock raced through her . The murderous intent in those eyes that once held so much love . Her heart stopped . "Verone?"
